Joel Cooper is an origami artist currently based in Lawrence, Kansas. He folds simple sheets of paper and makes elaborate masks and tessellated shapes out of them. What makes his creations amazing is that these are three-dimensional constructions showcasing complex geometries and abstract formations which make any audience forget that they are made from a single sheet of paper. The material he uses is hand-painted, stained or dyed and treated to make sure that the resulting product is durable enough to display for long periods. Since he doesn’t use any glue or cut the paper at all, one would think that Cooper’s paper origami are work of magic. It may very well be! But unlike any magician, he doesn’t keep his technique to himself as he even shares some how-to through his Flickr page. You can follow Joel on his blog. His works can also be found on Etsy. ...

The world is truly a beautiful place. As graphic artists, we see the beauty everywhere we look. It inspires us. Encourages us. And helps shape the many artistic projects that endlessly flow from our own colorful minds.
Not only does the world inspire us; we inspire each other. Artists feed off of other artists’ design energy. It fuels our creativity and sparks our passion. The end result is a planet full of designs as varied in style and substance as the artists who created them. And that’s where we come in.
